Adam Cole - The Piano Teacher You Wish You'd Had the First Time

Musical Instruction

“In my professional capacity, I routinely observe instruction in settings across the country. I can say with confidence that Adam is one of the best teachers I have ever observed! Adam creates an environment where it is safe to fail, while holding high expectations for quality.  Adam expects honesty from his students, but gives advice about the power of discipline and commitment without ever seeming to judge." 

Doannie Tran

“Adam gave me many insightful ideas and structure for working through my difficulties…He also presented a method for getting started with improvisation that was approachable and fun. I feel I’ve advanced in both of these areas in ways I’ve found very rewarding.”

Melinda Withers

“I wanted a vocal coach because I had absolutely no confidence in my singing voice. Mr. Cole is very good at explaining things, better than most of or all of my teachers at school…He is patient and encouraging as well…The results I’ve seen are day and night, honestly. My singing voice has improved tremendously, and I now sing confidently with my band. My piano skills also shot through the roof from where they were.”

Performance and Confidence

 “Adam got quickly to the heart of some issues I was having in preparing for my presentation – not just techniques for shaping and structuring it, but also approaches to procrastination in writing it, and what was driving that. He was clearly drawing on a breadth of experience and knowledge as a performer, creator and teacher. I found the sessions very useful.”

Tim Bailey, Coach and Writer

“I contacted Adam when I was searching how to level up my confidence in public speaking. Adam definitely delivered! He worked in a very efficient manner, tackling down the challenges in a precise way and taking into account different aspects of public speaking that can create uncertainty. I now have a detailed, concrete plan in my mind and I feel more confident in saying ”Yes!” to even bigger speaking opportunities in the future. If you want to waste no time, I certainly recommend having a coaching session with Adam!”

Maarit G., Psychologist, Psychotherapist

"I highly recommend Adam Cole for kids who struggle with executive function difficulties associated with ADHD, autism, etc. We hired Adam to work with our neurodivergent teen son who has always struggled with organization and time management in school. I was impressed with Adam’s systematic yet sensitive approach in helping our son to identify his strengths first, and showing how these strengths could be tools for creating new approaches to working. Adam is more about collaborating with and empowering the student to solve problems in a unique way rather than simply handing out a generic recipe for success. Because unique brains need unique approaches. We were impressed with Adam's keen perceptiveness, encouraging demeanor and creative problem solving."
